I also have the oposite problem, mine has doubled their sice from 5" til 10-11" in 1 year, and eat like a dawg + he has matured as a rabbit..

That is amazing!!! What are you feeding him? He is a big boy!!

I think you can increase your feeding, also what do you do in regards to water changes?

Very good question.

Water quality is always more important for the growth of fish than food.

To the OP, what's your wc % and schedule?

I do a 25% WC every friday. I mean he doesn't have parasites, and is eating like a dog so I guess I'm fine with everything.
 
My male marble grew from 3" to 10+" in 9.5 months. I thought he was growing slow lol

Oh haha. I wish my guy would hit a growth spurt. I have also noticed that LFS only bring in male pups? I haven't seen a lfa with female motoro pups. I want to start breeding them.:D
 
I change water for 20 minutes inn\out at the same time,i think i change about 50-60% every 4-5 day. I feed mainly with market shrimp and something we name "sei" here in norway.. Its a seafish that is pretty common, i buy frozen filets at the shop.
